Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council procured the Homeswapper mutual exchange platform, a software service supporting tenants who wish to exchange homes. The service provides a platform for mutual exchanges as part of the council’s statutory housing allocations service. The work is for Nottinghamshire, in the East Midlands. The requirement is for the platform service rather than general software development or housing allocation services, so suppliers specialising in tenant-facing home-swap technology are the closest fit.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to MRI Software Limited by direct award. The award was made on 28 September 2026, for £21,366. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The procurement was classified as a service and identified as software and information systems. The tender deadline was 25 September 2026. The available details describe the statutory service purpose and the direct-award route; they do not set out separate lots or a scored evaluation basis.

For suppliers competing when Nottinghamshire County Council next requires this service, the award demonstrates demand for a specialist mutual exchange platform used in the council’s housing allocations context. A credible competitor would need to provide a functioning tenant-facing service that enables households to find and arrange mutual home exchanges, and to support the council’s statutory service role. The requirement is centred on the Homeswapper platform rather than broad IT consultancy or unrelated housing software. The awarded provider is a large software company, while the procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that smaller specialist suppliers may also be relevant. Experience delivering a reliable platform for tenants and public-sector housing services would therefore be pertinent.
